“We are all excited with the launch of Artista Academy because this really tops all artista searches that have been done in the country.

“We are offering real training in a real academy for our future stars. No other program has offered such school-based learning and development from an academy of television arts.

“And, of course, it will be a real life-changing experience for not just one but two students because we are giving away P20M worth of prizes, including lead roles in a forthcoming teleserye of the network.

“This is real fame, fortune, and stardom. This is as real as it can get,” ani TV5 Creative and Entertainment Production Head Perci Intalan.
